Hi all, I’m 36F, 5’4”, 220lbs. I’ve lost 66 pounds since late June 2023, so roughly 2 pounds per week by following an anti-inflammatory/Mediterranean diet and walking/hiking. I currently walk or hike for an hour or two per day 5-7 days per week. I genuinely love being outside in nature and...

I’m not necessarily new to fitness, but I’ve been skinny all my life, and have always wanted nothing more than to just gain some damn weight. No matter how much I eat, I don’t gain anything probably because of how freakishly fast my metabolism is. I’m a 20 year old, 5’6” male sitting at around...

I’m 6 months into my fitness journey, and I continue to hear this all the time. I do a combination of strength training and cardio 5 days a week for 1 hour sessions. I understand that 1lb is 1lb whether it is muscle or fat, and that mathematically, I clearly am somehow still eating enough to...

I’ve been going to the gym on and off for a long time with no progress and I’ve only now started to go consistently just a few weeks ago. I set up a gym plan with weights, reps, sets, etc. but I’m not sure if I’m hitting all the right muscles equally. Feedback and/or suggestions from more...

I do not like how my arms look, especially my forearms. I think they are weirdly skinny. I have been exercising regularly for almost 2 years now and I do pulling (lat pulldowns) and pushing (barbell and dumbell presses) exercises. With these exercises, I think my arms should have become bigger...

I (M13) have been going to the gym for some time and have gained muscle particularly in the upper back. However my ribcage is visble and I can't quite get that V-taper because of how it sticks out. If it helps I'm 5'9, 58.1kg/128lbs, and have a bodyfat% of 10.3% according to a beaten up scale...

I’ve been working out daily for almost 4 weeks now and have completely changed my diet. I went from drinking 2 20 oz bottles of Cola a day and snacking on Doritos, eating frozen pizza for lunch, lots of pasta, etc. I cut literally all of that out. I snack on mixed nuts, yogurt, or kale chips...

Hello r/beginnerfitness. I started doing strength training ~2 months ago following the GZCLP routine. UnfortUnfortunately, I fell into the beginner's trap / lifters envy and went too hard too fast, focusing on piling on the weight, compromising my form. Luckily I've now realized my mistake...

I'm trying to get down to 240 over the next year or so to have a surgery. I go 2 times out the week due to pain while I work during the week and want to eventually be able to do 3 days or more. I've been working out for 2 months so far now and was wondering if this is enough to get me...

This guy: told me (yes, I emailed him) that he got to this physique over a year's time, from complete dumps (alcohol binging, serious anxiety, etc.). I can maybe only bench 105 lbs right now for many reps. I suspect you need to get to 220 lbs+. I am also not obese. Is it possible to get...

Training the back can be overwhelming if you have a history of low back pain or surgery. In most cases, these muscles are stiff and painful due to the lack of attention we have been giving them. If this is you, try these 4 back exercises out and see how you do!

This is my current split Alternating between 2 full body workouts every other day. I’ve been weights training for about a year and so there are some externally weighted exercises I’ve included which I find essential 1: Pike push ups, Chin ups, Push ups, Nordic curls, Pistol squats, L-sit...
